Caution: Slippery Slope Ahead

Democratic challengerÂ Kirsten GillibrandÂ isn’t letting go of U.S. Rep. John Sweeney’s ski weekend with at least one lobbyist, a $2,000-a-head fund-raising event the Clifton Park Republican held right after he called on his colleages in Congress to do some house cleaning in the wake of the Abramov bribery scandal.

Quite the contrary, Gillibrand’s campaign Web site just posted a slick video showing footage from Park City, Utah. A narrator points out the “swanky Hotel Park City”Â where guests stayed, and observes that Sweeney might have held the event in a New York locale like LakeÂ Placid or Hunter Mountain, “But I guess Utah isÂ just more theÂ Congressman’s style.”
